New England Patriots Win Super Bowl XLIV 28-24

The New England Patriots are NFL champions with a four-point win punctuated by on-field fighting after their surprising win over the Seattle Seahawks.

The win marks the fourth Super Bowl win for Patriots coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. The pair has appeared in six Super Bowls.

The game was swung on New England’s 10-play, 64-yard fourth quarter drive capped by a touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Julian Edelman with 2:02 left on the game clock. That play gave the Patriots their final lead. A tipped pass caught by Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse that was eerily similar to David Tyree’s game-winning catch in Super Bowl XLII put Seattle in striking distance to make a comeback. But rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler sealed the win for the Patriots with an interception of Russell Wilson’s pass.
